LETTERS FROM THE ARVY OF THE PO
TOMAC.
Soldiera.! Read, Reflect, and then Vote.
Thousands of Pennsylvania soldiers have been
furloughed to come home and vote. These fur
loughs" have been granted only, or mainly to
those who were supposed to be favorable to
the election of Curtin. Those in power intend
to make political as well as military machines
of the rank and file—they intend to use them
at the polls as well as in the fLeld. In short
they mean to make the soldiers their instru
ments to enslave the country. The policy of •
Lincoln and Curtin is freedom to the negro—
slavery to the white man. But onoe at home
—once,in his 'election district—the
,soldier is
free from restraint ; he le free to think and to
act—and we ask him to do so. "Strike, but
hear, me," were the words of a k greatAthenian
I—lter,4, think, inform yourself before you
'vote, are the words we address to the brave
soldiers of Pennsylvania.
DAMP Or FIFTH ILISOHHTES,
Near Culpepper, Va., Oct. 1,1863.
To the Editors of the Patriot and Union :—A
friend sent me a copy of the Harrisburg Tele
graph, of the 25th ult., containing a letter from
the Fifth Reserve, signed "W. Hayes Grier,
First Sergeant Company A, Fifth Reserves,"
&c., &0., &c. > It is a little singular, that when
a sneak wishes to tell an infamous falsehood
or slander a decent man, he always selects the
Hessian's pitper as the means of spreading his
filth before the public.
It is not necessary to make any response to
Grier's nonsense about his former Democracy
further than to state that he always was an
outspoken Democrat up to a certain time—
after a certain promotion bed been made;
when he suddenly threw his principles to the
winds and covered -himself with the Shoddy
mantle. No one here thinks that the party
has sustained any loss by the change i but the
excuse that it was done through patriotic int):
tivea is too absurd to be covered by a shoddy
blanket.
He nest tells the Hessian that Curtin "has
done all in his power to aid the Reserves."—
The Reserve Corps was organized in pursuance
of a law of the Pennsylvania Legislature.
The men composing the division had all ached
to be taken into the service of the country un
der the three months' call, but the bungling
policy of the War Department prevented that;
hence, as soon as this law authorising a re
serve corps in Pennsylvania was passed, these
same companies, which had been previously
tendered, Were accepted, and organized into
what has since been known as the Pennsylva
nia Res'erve Corps, for the defence of Pennsyr
vania soil. I have never been able to see what
part the Governor took in their organization
that should entitle him to the vast amount of
honor he claims.
But if you will refer to the files of the Hes
sian's paper of May and June, 1861, as well
as to your own paper of that date, you will
learn something about the condition of the Re
serves while they lay in camp under the ex
clusive care and control—and under the very
nose—of this patent "soldier's friend." The
appearance of the men in Camp Curtin was a
disgrace to the . State. Any citmen of Harris
burg who visited the camp during this period
will confirm this. Many of the men ran bare=
.headed and bare-footed for weeks. Company
commanders had to have an "inspection"
every evening, to see how many of their men
were fit, or unfit, to appear on "dress parade"
before the ladiee-=the "naked" being Bent into
their tents until the parade was over. It is a
disgraceful fact. that not a stitch of clothing
wag issued to the eoldiere of the Btiektail and
Fifth regiments until they had been turned ,
over to the General Government and had re
ceived orders to march for Cumberland, New
Creek, SLo., nor did they receive a cent of pay
until after they had left the State. Their whole
term of "State service" was spent in a state
of raggedness and filth almost . as bad as that
of Libby prison. Governor Curtin—the "eel
dier's friend"—was appealed to in vain for even
a few pairs of shoes for men who were drilling
on their bare feet. His answer to such ap
peals was, that nothing could be issued to the
men until after they had been mustered in;
yet he persistently refused to have them mus
tered. • •
From all the accounts published in the pa
pent' of both parties, the men encamped in other
parts of the State fared no better—perhaps
worse. The loudest complaints came from
Easton, I believe.
I have no means of knowing what may have
been the inward emotions , of the Governor to
wards the division, since he handed it over to
the General Governinent. They were perhaps of
the most paternal nature. But, if so, what
heve they amounted to ? The Reserves have
always marched when the army marched, and
fought when the army fought—and sometimes
fought alone. Our sick and wounded are with
those of other divisions in the different hospi
tals of the country. Our dead lie side by side
with those of all the States of the Union. The
number of men now in the division, *ben com
pared with the number in it then, is sad evi
dence that, if the Governor is sincere in his
professions of friendship,his influence at Wash
ington is small indeed I
There was a kind of a vote taken in the Fifth
regiment a few weeks ago. I never knew 'what
the result was until it was published by this
"First Bergeant;" &o. The Democrats almost
to a man declined to give any serious answer
when the question was asked them. But I will
state, for this young up,-start's benefit, that he
has one company on his list as being unani
mous for Curtin which contains a majority of
four for Woodward. . •If the other companies
of the regiment, his own included, were allowed
to vote this fall, they would vote in a manner
that would make even the "First Sergeant' of
Company A" ashamed of his vile slanders on
better.men and braver soldiers than himself.
The "fighting men" of the Fifth do not think
it is any part of en officers duty to q teetion
them as to their political prinoiples ~• neither
do they entrnat their opinions on such matters
to those whose business it is to report every
idle, ord spoken in the company at the officers'
quarters. •
The writer cif tbik like Grier, came to the
war a Democrat ; like him, he threw down the
stick and rule " and took up a musket; but
I have certainly seen nothing during two years
and a half of army life to cause me to , forsake
the party now when it is engaged in such a
gloriods clause e,s the preservedot of our Con..
stitution and laws.

Editors Patriot and Union:—Last winter,
while lying along the banks of the Rappahan

the army in regard to the removal of M'Clel

ing the mariner the "powers that be" are ma
king a political machine of the Army of the
Potomac, for the advancement of Andy Curtin.
It is but a few days ago since there was an
election held here to elect a Governor, , for
the State of Pennsylvania. We all kid* that
that vote will never be Muted, and the query
is, why is this vote cast ? I will tell you. The
cause of Curtin at home is desperate, and un
less some great card is played soon ie will be
consigned to private life. The card they yet
hold is, the effect the soldier vote will hate on
those at home. This is a deep game, but Ido
not think it will win. New let me tell you
how this " soldier. vote " was obtained : The
officers of each company have a list of their
men ; they go to each personally and ask him
who he will vote for ; if for Curtin, all right;
if for Woodward, he is told he can vote for who
he pleases, but if he votes for Woodward he
can never expect any favor from those who
wear shoulder straps. Again, he is told that
Woodward voted against allowing the SOlditre
the right of voting; whereas the truth is he
only decided on the constitutionality of the
law. With such arguments as these, is it any
wonder men are brought to think that Curtin
is the man ? Let a man vote for Woodward,
and he is given to understand that his life in
the army will be anything but pleasant. 0
ain't thie a manly game ? Ain't it a glorious
privilege to be servants for such leaders ? Our '
cause may be. a noble one—but there is little
of the true nobility in those who lead us. I
voted for George W. Woodviard, and I never
expect a favor while lam in the army. lem
a soldier—l am a. Democrat, and I will never
yield my conscience to any men, or set of po
litical demagogues. I have no favors to , ask—
I have never asked one. I may have a hard
life, but there may be a good time coming. I
will trust in the future, and I know there is a
noble and true band who are with me. I may
fall on the field of battle, but I am ever, till
my latest breath, a friend of the Union and a
Democrat. I may be called a Copperhead, I
may be called a traitor, but if I am one now I
will live and die one. Oar first duty is the one
we owe our God, the next the one we owe our
country.
My friends at home are called traitors, and
I can stand it ; and I look to that noble band
who are enduring all men can for the sake of
principle, to yet bring deliverance to the coun
try. lem for "the Union as it Was, "
and I
am•for "the Constitution as it ie." Let lying,
slanderous Abolition journals do their worst—
let them laugh at a set of men called soldiers,
break up Democratic meetingsbut soon, too
soon for them, will come the reckoning. Demo
crats, be on your guard, be ever ready for any
emergency. There ie a game working for your
destruction. You must not oleo) now, or you
will awake in chains. Your country calls for
help—the good old life-boat is in the hands of
those who would destroy it—but remember,
the Union must be preserved, and you must
be its peservers. Stand firm, falter not. You
are about to be successful at last. Be true to
yourselves, be true to your country, and pos
terity will bless you. You have an interest in
your country's welfare nearer, truer, deeper,
than all mankind beside. You know no North,
South, East or West—you know only your
country. You are for peace—but only such as
will _unite, not divide the country. The twin
partners of iniquity, Abolitionism and Seces

are both your enemies, and you will yet
pink them into a grave from which no political
resurrection will ever raise them. Thou with
Your might, your heart and hand, ga into the
great work, determined to win. Raise high
your good old hibkoriee,.ruti up, the stars and

of your danger.
The sun shines brightly now, the clouds are
fast disappearing in the political horizon.—
Democrats, you know your duty ; fail not to do
it. Let not threats deter you in your onward
march to victory. Be firm—work earneetly—
and when the second Tuesday of October ar
rives, let it find you ready. If force is used to
keep you from the polls, or to cheat you out of
your vote—force must be poet with force. Let
not the election in Pennsylvania be controlled
the same as it was in Kentucky. You have
rights, and you must maintain them: Then, with
three cheers for Woodward and Lowrie, and

THE PRESIDENT'S PROMISE&
Mr. Lincoln's letter to the Springfield (Illi
nois) Convention, which is now being widely
published and flatteringly endorsed by the
Republican press, contains the following sen
tence
" Negroes, like other people, act upon mo
tives. Why should they do anything for us, if
we will do nothing for them ?—lf they stake
their lives for us, they must be prompted by
the atrongotit motives—even the promise of
freedom ; and, the promise being made, must be
kept."
As he has such a strong desire , to keep his
"promise" with negaoes, we respectfully • call
his attention to the following "promise"-made
`by him to the white men of the country in his
Inaugural Address :
